Utah Utility Sales Tax Exemption
Utah allows businesses to claim an exemption on the portion of their utility consumed in the actual manufacturing process or applicable service.
Utah Sales Tax Exemption Certificate
The TC-721Exemption Certificate is the document that must be filed in Utah in order for a business to claim the Utility Sales Tax Exemption.
Energy Study Requirement
In Utah, a detailed energy study must be performed to identify the exact percentage of utility that is exempt from sales tax. This includes calculating the annual consumption for each device that is consuming the utility and then distinguishing between production devices and non-production devices.
